Regular and Singular Dislocations

The theory of continuous distributions of dislocations and other material defects, when formulated in terms of differential forms, is shown to comprise also the discrete, or singular, counterpart, in which defects are concentrated on lower dimensional reg

Geometric Continuum Mechanics

This volume contains a compilation of extended articles on the applications of various topics in modern differential geometry to the foundations of continuum mechanics. The application of differential geometry to the mechanics of systems having a finite number of degrees of freedom, as appeared initially in the works of Abraham, Marsden, Souriau, Arnold, Smale, and others, and led to the vast literature that followed, needs no introduction
